<!--IT IS NOT CLEAR FROM THE SCENE WHETHER MoM ACTUALLY "OWNED" THE NO NAME IN THE SENSE THAT MAKES ONE A KEYBLADE WIELDER, OR IF HE JUST MADE IT TO BE IMMEDIATELY GIVEN TO LUXU; GOAT SYMBOLISM INDICATES IT IS LUXU'S AS MUCH AS THE OTHER FORETELLER BLADES ARE THEIRS. WAIT FOR CLARIFICATION FROM CANON ON WHETHER THAT COUNTS-->

===Master Invi===

===Bragi===

[[Bragi]] is a vessel of Luxu. He poses as a Keyblade wielder under the tutelage of Master [[Odin]].

===Xigbar===

===Master Ephemer===

[[Ephemer]] is a Keyblade wielder who desires to find the true purpose behind the gathering of [[Lux]] and the structure of the World. He later inherits the [[Master's Defender]] from [[Brain]] and goes onto become the founder and first Keyblade Master of [[Scala ad Caelum]].

===Master Odin===

Master [[Odin]] is the Keyblade Master who trained [[Xehanort]], [[Eraqus]], [[Bragi]], [[Vor]], [[Hermod]], [[Urd]], [[Baldr]], as well as seven upperclassmen. He wields the [[No Name]] and [[Master's Defender]] Keyblades, and respectively passes them down to Xehanort and Eraqus at the end of their [[Mark of Mastery exam]]s.

===Master Xehanort===

[[Master Xehanort]] is a Keyblade Master that devoted himself to the darkness, wishing to obtain the [[χ-blade]] and thus enter [[Kingdom Hearts]]. To this end, he contrived numerous plots and manipulated many people into becoming pawns of his device. Eventually, he used his Keyblade to transfer his heart into [[Terra]]'s body, becoming [[Terra-Xehanort]] which eventually was split into [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] and [[Xemnas]].

===Terra-Xehanort===

After Master Xehanort possesses Terra's body and becomes [[Terra-Xehanort]], he retains the ability to summon his original incarnation's Keyblade, though he wields it like Terra would. Terra-Xehanort used his original incarnation's  Keyblade to fight the Lingering Will and Aqua. After being defeated, Terra's heart begins to fight back, causing Xehanort to stab himself in order to rid himself of Terra, but accidentally sealing his memories and thus his ability to wield a Keyblade, ultimately forgetting everything but the name "Xehanort".

===Master Eraqus===

[[Master Eraqus]] is a Keyblade Master who protected the [[Land of Departure]] and served as [[Terra]], [[Ventus]], and [[Aqua]]'s teacher. After Aqua was named a Keyblade Master, Eraqus told her the secret responsibilities that came with such a title. Eraqus was slain by his former friend, [[Master Xehanort]].

===Master Aqua===

Master [[Aqua]] is a Keyblade Master who operated before Sora ever embarked on his first journey. Her standard Keyblade is the [[Rainfell]], but it later transforms into the [[Stormfall]]. Aqua's Keyblades are of average length in comparison to Terra and Ventus's; she inherits Eraqus's Master's Defender after she finds the abandoned weapon in the Land of Departure, which is slowly being swallowed by the darkness. Aqua's attempt to save Terra after he falls into the Realm of Darkness causes Aqua to lose her Keyblade; the Master's Defender becomes her only weapon in the dark realm.

===Anti-Aqua===

[[Anti-Aqua]] is Aqua after having been corrupted by the darkness beneath the End of Sea by [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]]. Despite having no Keyblade of her own, she is able to wield Mickey's Keyblade which she stole.

===Master Yen Sid===

Master [[Yen Sid]] is a retired Keyblade Master who now watches over the Lanes Between and counsels with stars for guidance, and appears to be the original owner of Mickey's Star Seeker Keyblade. After the catastrophic battle at the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], Mickey returns the Star Seeker, believing that he has failed Yen Sid, but Yen Sid hands it back, encouraging him.

As an apprentice to Master Yen Sid, [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]] wields the [[Star Seeker]], a gift to him from his master.{{fact}} His adventures with Ventus and Aqua actually comprise his [[Mark of Mastery exam]], and after their disappearance, he returns to the Mysterious Tower, feeling he has failed the exam, his friends, and his master. He returns the Star Seeker to Yen Sid, but Yen Sid returns it, revealing that Mickey has in fact passed his exam and become a Master.<!--cite to Famitsu, using quote from here: http://www.kh2.co.uk/kingdom-hearts-3d/news/nomura-interview-on-kingdom-hearts-3d.php-->

===Master Riku===

Terra [[bequeathed]] a Keyblade to [[Riku]] on the Destiny Islands before the destruction of the Land of Departure, and makes Riku promise to keep it a secret.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep}} Riku was the one originally chosen to wield Sora's Keyblade, but he was denied that when he chose to submit to darkness, weakening his heart and causing the Keyblade to choose Sora. Instead, Riku uses the [[Soul Eater]], a sword which grows more powerful when used with darkness, and the developing form of his Keyblade. When Sora first arrives at [[Hollow Bastion]], Riku is able to temporarily take the Keyblade as well, but Sora's heart proves to be the strongest, and he reclaims the Keyblade from Riku. After being possessed by [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]], Riku is used as a wielder for the incomplete [[Keyblade of heart]], which Xehanort had forged from the hearts of six of the seven [[Princesses of Heart]]. However, this Keyblade is destroyed after Riku is defeated by Sora, who uses the Keyblade to free Kairi's heart from his body.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts}}

As a remnant of Terra, it is able to wield his [[Ends of the Earth]] Keyblade. After the Lingering Will ceases to exist, Terra regains his heart and expels Xehanort, and his Keyblade reverts to its original form.

{|class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" border="0" style="width:100%"

===Vanitas===

As a being created from the darkness of [[Ventus]]'s heart, [[Vanitas]] uses a Keyblade of his own called the [[Void Gear]]. Aside from his own Keyblade, he comes into possession of the legendary [[χ-blade]] after fusing with Ventus; due to their failure to meet the requirements for forging the weapon on their own, however, this version of the χ-blade proves to be incomplete and unstable, eventually leading to its destruction by Aqua and Ventus.

{|class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" border="0" style="width:100%"

===Ventus-Vanitas===

[[Ventus-Vanitas]] is the result of the union between Ventus and Vanitas during their final battle. As such, Ventus-Vanitas is able to wield the [[χ-blade]], though it is an incomplete version due to lacking the proper number of hearts needed to complete the weapon.

{|class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" border="0" style="width:100%"

===Sora===

[[Sora]] gained the ability to wield the Keyblade when he reached out his heart to Ventus after sensing Ventus's shattered heart. By joining his heart with Ventus's he gained the ability to wield his own Keyblade, as well as Ventus's. Sora has been recognized as having the skill to become a Keyblade Master, and is even often informally referred to as one, but has not officially received the title. [[Sora's Heartless]] was also able to continue utilizing his Keyblade after Kairi helped him to regain physical form.

===Roxas===

As the [[Nobody]] of Sora, [[Roxas]] is also able to wield the Kingdom Key.

Like the other Organization members, Roxas is able to modify the form of his weapon using [[Gears]].

===Xion===

[[Xion]], the fourteenth member of [[Organization XIII]], can wield [[Roxas]]'s Keyblade due to the fact that her [[Replica]] body is intended to siphon his powers; however, the Keyblade she normally wields is nothing more than a sham. She is created from the memories belonging to Sora that Roxas holds. As a being created out of memories, she was able to use the Kingdom Key to manipulate the power of light in the same way that Sora and Roxas can. When acting as a member of the [[real Organization XIII]] and as one of the [[Guardians of Light]], she inhabits a new replica body and utilizes a real Keyblade.

{|class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" border="0" style="width:100%"

[[Data-Sora]] wields the Kingdom Key. He utilizes this mighty blade to fend off Heartless and [[Bug Blox]].

However, the strength of his heart allows him to gain a real Keyblade in data [[Hollow Bastion]].

===Kairi===

Kairi is able to wield a Keyblade because she touched [[Aqua]]'s Keyblade when she was a child, initiating a [[Bequeathing]].{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep}} At [[The World That Never Was]], [[Riku]] gives his [[Destiny's Embrace]] to [[Kairi]] so that she can help protect Sora.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts II}} Later, Yen Sid learns of Kairi's ability, and after Riku and Sora's [[Mark of Mastery exam]] he invites her to the Mysterious Tower so that she can also train to combat the reformed Organization XIII.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance}}

===Lea===

Formerly the [[Nobody]] [[Axel]], [[Lea]] has gained the ability to wield a [[Keyblade]] by seeking training under Master Yen Sid who, with the help of [[Merlin]] and the [[Three Good Fairies]], compressed the time needed to train with magic.  

{|class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" border="0" style="width:100%"

===Young Xehanort===

Young Xehanort was initially unable to wield a Keyblade in ''Dream Drop Distance'', though when the reincarnated Master Xehanort possessed Young Xehanort's body when it was under attack by Mickey and Riku he was able to do so, and by the time he appeared in ''Kingdom Hearts III'' he could wield a Keyblade without aid.
